By Adam Harsant, Managing Director, TechPoint|Gemini Tec
When a recent high-security defence program required a rapid and dependable route to manufacturing for complex PCB assemblies, the technical and operational requirements were exceptionally high. The application, supporting next-generation intelligence and surveillance systems, necessitated absolute precision, full traceability, and dependable delivery.
This project involved strict material controls, and a high degree of supply chain assurance. Meeting such stringent requirements demanded more than technical capability, it required a UK-based manufacturing partner with integrated systems, resilient infrastructure, and a proven track record in high-reliability production.
As part of the TechPoint Group we delivered a complete end-to-end solution, demonstrating how our unique EMS model adds measurable value across the full lifecycle of complex electronic assemblies and why we’re a trusted partner.
One UK Partner. Everything You Need.
What differentiated our approach?
TechPoint Group is the only UK electronics manufacturing group to combine these specialised capabilities under one roof, offering greater control and coordination across design, sourcing, and production:
-
Advanced Production Facility
Our site in Aldershot has advanced capability to support the manufacture of demanding PCBA hardware. Investment in capability, such as jet printing, vapour phase reflow and 3D AOI provides tight process control and exacting standards.
During 2025, we will be opening our brand-new facility in Basingstoke, Hampshire. This will be feature rich in technology and delivering higher levels of customer experience.
This significant investment will position TechPoint|Gemini Tec at the very forefront of the UK CEM sector, allowing us to provide our services to an increased customer base who require a forward-thinking and progressive CEM partner.
With our upcoming move to a cutting-edge new facility in Basingstoke, we’re expanding capacity and investing further in automation, traceability, and quality. Learn more
-
SCaaS Supply Chain
Our supply chain business allows us to support high-risk environments. It ensures supply chain resilience, maintains traceability, and secures continuity when others face disruption. For this project, we sourced RAD-Hard components under strict storage and access controls, with full traceability in accordance with AS9100. -
Integrated Frequency Control: TechPoint|Golledge
As part of the group, TechPoint|Golledge strengthens our offering with validated frequency control components that enhance system performance and long-term reliability. -
Agility with Accountability
Our engineering-led workflows support rapid prototyping with full change control and digital traceability through to production. This project benefitted from real-time feedback loops and continuous optimisation, all delivered on schedule and to specification.
What This Means for Our Customers
This case reflects how, as part of the TechPoint Group, we support sectors where failure is not an option including aerospace, defence to medical technology and critical infrastructure.
-
Fewer Suppliers, Reduced Risk
With in-house capabilities spanning procurement to production, we eliminate unnecessary handovers, reduce delays, and minimise exposure to third-party risks. -
Accelerated Timelines, Without Compromise
Our digital-first, data-driven processes enable fast progression from prototype to production, without compromising reliability, compliance, or quality. -
Strategic Partnership Approach
We go beyond build-to-print. Our team offers expert guidance on design-for-manufacture, PCB design, process and SOW compliance, component strategy, and obsolescence planning. -
Scalable Precision
Whether producing five prototypes or 5,000 assemblies, every customer benefits from the same high-reliability process, documentation, engineering and customer support within our value streams. -
Aerospace-Grade Compliance
We recently completed a successful AS9100 audit, underlining our commitment to the most rigorous standards of process control and product quality.
